AGILE (Astrorivelatore Gamma a Immagini LEggero) is an Italian Space Agency
(ASI) mission launched on April 23rd, 2007. The AGILE-GRID instrument onboard
of the AGILE satellite is devoted to gamma-ray astrophysics in the 30 MeV - 50
GeV energy range. This paper presents the results of a systematic study
performed on the first three years of AGILE-GRID data to search for GeV and
sub-GeV counterparts (or derive flux upper limits) of sources detected at very
high-energy by TeV experiments. Many of the TeV sources are still unidentified
and deep observations at lower energies are needed to identify their possible
counterparts.
